Hospital inpatient programs are rehab facilities for substance abuse, that provide an exclusive and clinical setting for individuals in recovery. A hospital inpatient program might be a beneficial choice for someone who has a co-occurring mental health issue, or for someone with other medical requirements which might need to be overseen by medical experts. Individuals who partake in that program may benefit from mental health services whilst dealing with issues who have prompted their substance abuse. Usually people who have a co-occurring mental health disorders use alcohol or drugs to self medicate rather than effectively addressing their disorder. Professional rehab counselors in the hospital inpatient program will help individuals turn things around so they no longer find the need to use alcohol and drugs in this way, and instead create ways to make their mental health issue more manageable. Medication is often used to achieve this, however this isn't the answer needed in all cases. By way of example, even subtle environmental modifications in one's life can decrease stress and put a new perspective on things so the individual doesn't feel compelled to abuse drugs or alcohol. Counselling within a hospital inpatient program will help expose such problems so they can be resolved.
